Point a document parser at contract analysis, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at legal solo practitioners, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Contract Analyser Built for Solo Practitioners is a document parser aimed at legal solo practitioners, covering contract analysis. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (95) and held back by timing (55). Typical pricing is $4.5k–$96k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $17k–$38k.
Legal teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A document parser that handles contract analysis end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Legal is growing at roughly 12% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
